Tell us about Shamal!
Full Name: Shamal Almagest Source: R O G U E Gender and Sexuality: nonbinary guy, queer and demisexual Pronouns: he/they Ethnicity/Species: Human Birthplace and Birthdate: Vermont, Earth. 2862 Guilty Pleasures: Singing in the shower, smelling the flowers Phobias: Asphyxiation, fires on a space station, being stranded alone in space What They Would Be Famous For: He played a very small part on a team at Montgomery-Montgomery, a biomed company, that found the cure for cancer. He’s pretty humble though, and he would emphasize that he only had a small role studying a fern species that mutated so rapidly it created a compound that could undo radiation and reverse harmful cell growth. What They Would Get Arrested For: I don’t think Shamal would do anything that would get him arrested, but he would break station protocol in order to save a life in an extreme situation. OC You Ship Them With: Canonically they are partners with Teo Bawbee. OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Who would dare murder Shamal??? Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Survival or adventure Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: In world, probably books or movies that don’t depict the plants on Tand accurately -- like how Tand’s plants grow in one direction towards Tva and have a black appearance due to the infrared light. Talents and/or Powers: He has a very green thumb and can bring back most dying plants. Why Someone Might Love Them: Shamal’s a good storyteller. He’s good natured, confident, calming, and encouraging to others. Why Someone Might Hate Them: He can be overly superstitious. He can get paranoid under stress. How They Change: Not a ton of personal development, but relationship development was key for Shamal. He was afraid Teo would react badly when he told her Mo-Mo would definitely fund his Ph.D. back on Earth. Together they decided to move to Earth from Epsilon Eridani Station, but Shamal is proud of her for taking the leap and happy that she trusts him. Why You Love Them: I got to sing in game as Shamal and play a satisfying partnership in a larp, which were both firsts for me.
